RE: Metal Finish
If you had of read my post you would have noticed that I support the small business man. The stuff I have stretches well, the aggresive glue tends to be a limiting factor at times. To call it a hardware product does it no justice,.......... but then if you had a sample of what I am refering to.
At any rate, the best thing I like about RC universe is the exchange of ideas and knowlledge. If a person can obtain the same or similar product at a fraction of the cost, have fun experimenting, and share the ideas, man that's what I am here for. I received my goods with a simple phone order. Since the biggest pannel line was 6" wide I purchased that width, although it can be purchased up to 20" or more in width. The cost was less than 1: 50th of other products and you can easily mold and shape this product. It makes fantastic panel lines and in several experiments I tried to heat the product with a propane torch. The paint under the aluminum covering bubbled lifting the product. I sincerely doubt the sun will get that hot. I have sincerely forgotten if this product was acrylic or rubber based as far as the glue goes, I have gotten them all mixed up, it however holds up really well to heat. As far as taking the product off the aircraft, you can peel it off, as I made several mistakes so far. It does NOT leave a mess. Well to each his own, I have posted this to help others not to run anyone down. Lighten up, and have fun building.
